Edit multi-line tagged values
« on: February 19, 2010, 03:16:23 am »
Hello all,

When manually adding a tagged value to an element, you can enter a multiple line value via the New Tagged Value dialog box.

Once created, the full text shows up in one line with special characters where the CR/LF were typed.

I would like to edit existing tagged values (from a profile) the same way but haven't found a button/menu that can bring back the Taqged Value dialog in edit mode.

I tried working around this by copy/paste-ing from another line, from an editor etc. but only the "first line" gets copied.

Should I code something to support this?

Should I use something else than tagged values? I could use more than 255 characters too but it's less important.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Cheers,

    Eric

Eric,

You can use the notes of the tagged values.
But, if you really need that much text in tagged values, you might want to consider other options to put this information in.

It's not that I need a lot of text but a bit more formatting than everything on one line.

Thanks for the Note tip.

Cheers,
